January 2025

Vampire Survivors - 24%. Calling it beaten. I got as much of it as I want at this point. It’s highly repetitive. Good for the first two hours.
STAR WARS™ Empire at War: Gold Pack - beat the Rebel campaign.
Mainframe Defenders - beat the final mission on Easy

Played a lot of Pinball FX3/FX/M this month.

Did Not Finish (DNF)

Escape From Mystwood Mansion - not very fun. just hunting for the slot for keys.
Demetrios - The BIG Cynical Adventure - boring and not funny.
Balatro - 33% got some wins. calling it beaten. Fun game but the runs are both too short and too long. It doesn’t quite hit all cylinders for me.

When Vampire Survivors was available for free from EGS last December, I played it obsessively for 7 or so days, almost non-stop. Unsure what % of cheevos I got since it was on EGS, but I definitely unlocked Darkanas and a lot of stuff, but it felt there was always something more. By the point I stopped playing it I was completely burned out hahaha

I thought I’d boot it every now and then but truth is I never played it again. Still might one day, but not so soon

Vampire survivors does have an “end”, you can get to the credits!

I highly recommend playing Empire at War with some mods, if you liked the core game.
My personal recommendation is the Thrawn’s Revenge mod, which you can get on the workshop. It adds so much more to this simple game
